"it brough back fond memories of my friend 'Spliff'"

That's a genuine extract from a letter from this weeks' your shepway freesheet... well I chuckled anyway.

This is part of my site The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fever of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a handy reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
